What we needed to do right after the disaster was to scrape out all the mud, debris, and sludge out of houses, stores, streets, farmlands, and other living areas. Since the work could only be done manually, it requires tremendous amount of time and effort. The members of the church that led to the formation of Sola, and many other volunteers have worked together with the people in disaster areas to serve one another. This activity is still continued as a work in progress.
